Niche Talks™ the podcast 🎙

How do you go niche? What does niche mean? And what does it look like?

Each episode I’m going to be speaking to someone who has niched down with their business and/or practice. We’ll be having a gentle chat about the hows and whys. A behind the curtains honest share to encourage and inspire us all to the wonders of going niche. To explore how it can show up in many different ways. I for one find learning from others and their experiences the absolute best way to learn so here we go.

Get the kettle on, get comfy and welcome to Niche Talks™.
